Your culinary exploration begins at a carefully selected local artisan caffè bar, where you’ll savor a freshly ground Italian coffee. Enjoy a delightful taste of a fresh and authentic Florentine sweet treat—a centuries-old tradition.


Next, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio, Florence’s oldest and most authentic food market. This bustling hub is where locals shop and connect. A sampling of the freshest seasonal fruits and vegetables will be offered, varying depending on the time of year and daily market selections, ensuring a truly local and genuine experience.

Then, sit down at a beloved restaurant in the Sant’Ambrogio district to savor handmade pasta served with rich, seasonal sauces. Each dish is crafted with tradition and care. Naturally, a glass of wine completes the experience.
